"Need a deck? Covered porch? Whatever you do, DO NOT hire Lonely Mountain Craftsmen, LLC.
They did not pull permits with the county, as required. The excuse was ?we didn?t realize we had to have a permit?.
Didn?t pull / request electrical permit/inspection until I requested it from them. Still in process.
Didn?t follow code, had to look up TN code myself and ask to redo porch railings.
Did not want to fix anything that was done incorrectly. Would make excuses and point blame.
What they did do?
Showed up late, left early
Made excuses for delays- so many excuses were used- we joke about which one it will be each time.
Ruined our gutters, pieces of brand new siding.
Asked for money before the job was completed"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts
Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.
Pallet wood can withstand all kinds of outdoor weather conditions, which is part of why pallet fences are so appealing to DIY-ers. You can weatherproof the wood further before you paint or stain it, as well. Pallet fences are low-cost, easy to install, and can withstand sun and rain exposure without rotting.
Regular sealing, repainting, and checking for wood rot or pest infestations help maintain longevity.
It’s much less expensive to build a house with wood. This is because wood is relatively inexpensive, strong enough to endure decades or even centuries of weathering and pressure, and is easier to replace if there are issues. The cost of stone houses are incredibly expensive, heavy, time-consuming to build, and difficult to repair.
The minimum recommended height for a carport is 7 feet tall, but you might need a significantly taller carport to provide clearance for RVs, commercial trucks, or other tall vehicles. You can choose your carport height based on the clearance you need and how the carport looks in comparison to the height of your home. Just keep in mind that building regulations usually dictate a maximum carport height.
